The 28-year-old – who plays feisty Stacy Slater on the hit soap – admitted that she is feeling broody and plans to expand her family of two. Explaining her excitement in an interview with OK! magazine she said:

“I’m ready for motherhood, and I want four children – Matt wants three!”

And it seems that Matt is also looking forward to becoming a proud daddy as he added:

“I’m ready, too. I felt really broody when my nephew was born four years ago.”

He also recently shared a picture of his baby niece on his Instagram account, captioning the snap with the following message:

“I’m in love……@ambsdagram@mr_mart3ll thanks for the niece….she’s beautiful. Welcome Ivy Rose into the world. A star is born.”
